1370-1380 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109
The three-story multi-family residential building at 1370-1380 California Street in Nob Hill, owned by Chinese Community Housing Corp and built in 1912, contains 51 units and has undergone significant maintenance and improvement work over the past decade. The building successfully completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit (Tier 2) in 2016, demonstrating seismic safety compliance. Recent building maintenance issues include an active complaint from June 2023 regarding inoperable windows (work on front windows was permitted in 2024), and a significant flooding and mold incident reported in May 2023 affecting a ground floor unit.
The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, as evidenced by multiple fire alarm system complaints and violations between 2018 and 2024, though these have generally been promptly addressed. Recent infrastructure improvements include the installation of new fire sprinklers in 2022, window replacements, and ongoing efforts to maintain building systems such as the elevator (2022 repair) and various HVAC upgrades. The building's plumbing systems have also received attention, with multiple water heater and furnace installations documented between 2012 and 2020. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2016-2018 when issues with mold, general maintenance, and several violations regarding boiler permits were recorded.
Historical problems from 2007-2010 including water intrusion and roofing work without proper permits have been resolved. Recent 311 calls in early 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance needs, including reports of bed bugs and various sanitation issues. The building's management has generally responded to these challenges through permitting work and addressing violations, though some recent complaints regarding window functionality and flooding suggest persistent maintenance requirements. Regular inspections and improvement projects indicate ongoing investment in building maintenance and safety systems, though the recurring nature of some issues raises concerns about comprehensive long-term solutions.
